Despite the information that men buy more sex toys than women, it\u2019s reasonably accurate to say that the majority of sex toys developed today are aimed at women. Men are amply catered for in terms of personal pleasure, but statistically it\u2019s women who hold the monopoly on vibrators.<\/p>\n

Why should this be? Is it because of the assumption that women are more familiar with the workings of their bodies than men? Is it because of the assumption that men are more easily satisfied than women, and as such they don\u2019t demand or desire the same amount of choice when it comes to personal pleasure?<\/p>\n

There are a lot of assumptions about sex, but that doesn\u2019t mean experimental men should not explore the limits of their physical pleasure in the same way that women do, because the many pleasure products available to women can potentially be repurposed for men.<\/p>\n

But\u2026 is there a point to it? With so many purpose-designed prostate massagers<\/a> on the market, not least our own best-selling BILLY prostate massager<\/a>, is there any reason to explore a great G-spot vibe<\/a> instead? We think there is, because the greater diversity of G-spot toys offers a greater diversity of sensation.<\/p>\n

The Difference Between The G-Spot And The Prostate<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s still hard to believe that there remains little medical consensus on the purpose of the G-spot. A lot of the information out there about it is contradictory, or uses unstandardized language, or reports different physiological effects. (The same is actually true of the clitoris in a way: it\u2019s the only piece of anatomy known anywhere in the animal kingdom with the sole purpose of providing pleasure.)<\/p>\n

Due to this, we\u2019re reluctant to make any medical claims here about the differences in the G-spot and the prostate, apart from this: it\u2019s generally accepted that women have a prostate (or at least, they have prostatic tissue, sometimes referred to as the Skene\u2019s gland), and it seems to be distinct from but related to the G-spot, although the amount and size varies from person to person. Men have a prostate, which expands under arousal, and is part of the orgasm cycle \u2013 restricting the urethra and producing semen. There isn\u2019t really a male counterpart to the G-spot, apart from the prostate, and there\u2019s no consensus on whether the two things are homologous at all. (But it seems like common sense that they are.)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the biggest difference between the prostate and the G-spot: the male prostate is well understood, the G-spot is not.<\/p>\n

Similarities Between The G-Spot & The Prostate<\/h2>\n

While the male prostate and the female G-spot are apparently not anatomically identical, the sensations are comparable, and a female G-spot vibe will target the prostate better than a simpler straight, non-G-spot specific vibe.<\/p>\n

The female G-spot and the male prostate have some\u2026 geographical similarities. The G-spot is located around 3 inches inside the vagina, the prostate is 3 inches inside a man\u2019s anal canal. They\u2019re both roughly the same shape and size, and they\u2019re both on or inside the anterior wall.<\/p>\n

And while we call them \u2018spots\u2019, they\u2019re not really spots at all. They\u2019re regions of incredible sensitivity that can be stimulated in with the same products and in the same manner as each other, even though they\u2019re in different areas and serve different purposes.<\/p>\n

So Can Men Use A G-spot Vibe?<\/h2>\n

While we wait for the doctors stop bickering about it, there is one thing that\u2019s for sure: The G-spot is a beautiful thing, and when it\u2019s stimulated it helps to produce orgasms of almost unbearable intensity. So can the prostate. So, the natural question is, can the same vibes used to stimulate the G-spot be used on the prostate too?<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, yes<\/strong>; as long as there’s a flared base. This is a requirement of all anal-safe toys (for men AND women) to prevent an uncomfortable trip to the emergency room. As well,\u00a0 just a quick note though before you go rummaging through your girlfriend\u2019s toy box: we don\u2019t advise sharing sex toys in this manner. Not at all. Keep them separate.<\/p>\n

What Should You Look For?<\/h2>\n

Take a look at the LELO Billy prostate massager<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LELO<\/a><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s relatively petite and that\u2019s ok: the prostate is only around a finger-length inside, so you don\u2019t need anything much bigger unless you want it. Also, power beats accuracy in this case: the more powerful the vibe, the more sensation you\u2019ll feel.<\/p>\n

Note the shape: slightly curved. This is key, because this is where it\u2019s targeting the G-spot, and therefore where it will be targeting the prostate too.<\/p>\n

There is only one major difference between a prostate massager and the average G-spot vibrator and that\u2019s the base. For safety, most prostate massagers have a slightly flared base, so look for a G-spot massager that\u2019s wider at the handle than it is along the length, and be very careful when using it, particularly because you should be using a significant amount of personal moisturizer<\/a> to make the process as pleasurable as possible.<\/p>\n
